PechaKucha Presentation

Life Tangents

For Nick Vincent building community begins and ends with family. Through his personal story of growing his own family and personal life, Nick knits together the ways that he's brought the same values to a wider group from Australia, via the UK to Penticton. From elaborate theme parties, artists spaces to a Coworking space, Nick's passion for community shines through everything that he does.

A quick examination of how Lane Manning and his family maintain a work-life balance through the ever changing litany of individual schedules, school, activities, work, family obligations, etc. He will explain "TRY, ADJUST, COLLABORATE and EXECUTE," which are the steps he uses to continually remind himself to always strive for balance.

What is coworking, and how could it evolve in the future? Tiffanie Mark will exhibit how true collaboration can be used to facilitate the evolution of business. How we can, in fact, build ourselves through building community, and how this could apply to you!

Jennifer Vincent intimately invites us on her journey of growing up in the Okanagan, by serendaing the crowd in and out of her presentation with the song her family used to sing on their drive out. The warm of summer and passion that has driven Jennifer and her family's work to make the Okanagan their home dribbles out of the presentation like biting into a fresh peach. Through this passion, one is able to understand how the work of founding their business has truly been worth it.

When most people hear the term "coworking" their minds jump straight to tech startups and Ping-Pong tables. But, there is more to coworking than meets the eye. In this presentation, Tiffanie Mark digs into the heart of the shared space movement, providing a deeper look into one of the world's fastest growing industry.
